Hello!!

In my life, when I am filling in forms, creating an account on a website, forum or anything like that, I sometimes wish a female name, but much more than that, always when selecting gender, I pick the Female option, look at it for a few seconds, and then change it (feeling bad) to the Male option  .

So, I would like to hear from you, when do you think it's time to pick a new name, even still in secret.

I am asking this because I am thinking on change "brunx" for a female name here on Susans. But I still don't know who I am, and looking foward a therapist now. I know that I will be more comfortable doing that, but I am worried to take a step in the wrong time.

Another point, in my country, male and female names are different, and a lot of them just change the last letter, like mine: Bruno - Male, Bruna - Female. I don't have any problem with changing it to Bruna, but feel like this needs to have a significant change, to making it clear for another people that your name is the "female version" now. You know what I mean? What are your thoughts about that?

Bye!

I didn't really pick a name - it picked me, if that makes any sense. There's one name that's always been magical to me, and so when I transitioned, that was the name I went with.

I thought of just using a feminine spelling of my old name - it's an androgynous name - but I decided I wanted my female name to be special and different. I'm very glad I did.

Glad to hear that

May I ask you something, did you felt that if you used a feminine spelling people would more likely to keep spelling it wrong?

No. It was more that I wanted a special feminine name - one that reminds me unequivocally that I'm no longer a man.

when it time to change to mine I will go with the name that came to me when I was a small child it picked me as well  I honestly think our souls or inner being how ever you call it already has a name before we are born.

Ever since I signed up for stuff online I've been putting female on every thing except when it has to be my true identity like government, banking and travel. My old name was kind of unisex anyway so that worked in my favor.

I picked this name with a middle name about 25 years ago, long before any kind of transition was even conceivable.  It just sounded right to me in my head.

The funny thing was when I was doing a genealogy search and traced a g-g-g-etc grandmother to the 15th century with exactly that first and middle name.
